BRITNEY SPEARS EXPLAINED BY A PSYCHOLOGIST

Im psychologist and im a very big fan of 90s pop culture, especially of my


adored, sweet, kindness, talented Britney Spears. And Im here to answer a very
typical question since 2007 about her. Is BS crazy?
I Already tell you, She is not.

(INTRO BAKAN)

If you see this beautiful baby Britney you can imagine about what goes the
desire of her. And you can imagine this desire have been founded in her early
years from her family dynamics.

Britney Spears has come to be a talented woman over the years and a
incredibly magnate with more of 250 millions of dollars.

But…

Everybody knows about the BRITNEYS meltdown in 2007. She shaved her
head, hitted a car with a umbrella, and performed in VMA 2008 with a terrible
aspect. Im going to explain this episode from a psychoanalytic perspective but
before I am going to tell you some key aspects so that you understand her
entire history.

BABY VOICE (VIDEO DE BRITNEY QUE ESTÄ EN SANTASPEARS)


B was a child born and raised in Kentwood Louisiana, She was a child star
starting at the age of 4 years old on Broadway, and then worked her way to the
Michey Mouse Club, and eventually she got the solo career we know today.

.If you look back at her music, if you listen to the lyrics of her hits, she’s been
telling everyone for years she’s too controlled and treated as a product.
(LUCKY, IM A SLAVE FOR YOU, OVERPROTECTED…)

A perfect example about this control is related with her voice.¿Did you know
her real voice is very similar to Cristina Aguilera´s?. Close to release their debut
album, pop industry had to differentiate them. So they make her voice retrained
to sing in the baby voice we all know today because they believed it would be
more iconic and would create a brand and career for her instead of her real
voice. It has been unhealthy, and its been destroying her voice over the years.
That is a probably reason to make lip sync in live concerts.

You must know she tried to make an acoustic pop album in 2006 titled Original
Doll, and reinvent herself using her real voice. The album was shelved and
cancelled once her label realized she would be singing in her real voice. She
isn’t allow to sing live because she will either fail terribly making baby voice with
that kind of choreography, or she would’ve had to sing in her deep and strong
voice that she isn’t known for. HER ENTIRE CAREER SHE HAS BEEN
TREATED LIKE A PRODUCT MEANT TO SELL.
VIXEN OR VIRGEN:

The Britneys success and fame came when she launched her first single video,
BABY ONE MORE TIME, in which it combined elements of apparently opposite
universes, achieving the image of an innocent 16-year-old teenager who with
her short skirt and provocative dances drove the whole world crazy by her.

Since very beginning she was forced to keep an open speech about her
intimacy in order to show her as a sacred, untouchable and pure but completely
provocative object.

Although Britney told to the entire world she was virgen and she wanted to be
like that until she married, she was always pressured to appear sluttier in her
videos and photos. (MUESTRO ENTREVISTA CON ELLEN DONDE HABLA
COMO LOCA DE SU VIRGINIDAD Y LUEGO ESCENAS DE SUS VIDEOS)

These two examples speak to us of the same thing. She was too much in
control in order to sell. And, in some point Britney´s desire or love to perform
became in a time machine for recover her independence (assuming she ever
had it) and to save her personality at any cost.

Maybe in that time Britney’s savior was Justin Timberlake, whom she started
dating around 1999. “Justin had his head screwed on so straight, and he
rescued her from that world,” “He became the great force in her life, but it
started a pattern. She began to look for guys to help her get away from the
people who control her.”

When this relationship ends Britney began desperately seeking love in


nightclubs with inappropriate guys. Until she got Married with a twenty-five-year-
old parasite: KEVIN FEDERLINE.

Im not going to talk about him because it is a Waste of time. But Im going to tell
you: You have to choose very well with whom to share your life. Otherwise….
There are many parasites that adapt very well to the toxic environments of this
society and they could take advantage of you. Be careful girl (or boy).

When kevin and Britney got divorcie, she had 2 childs, depression postpartum
and with her belief system destroyed. She had a lot of distress because she had
lost her image of good girl, she had been accused of being a terrible mother,
she had abandoned her performing career, and for everyone she had lost the
self-control. But, paradoxically , when your life was design by the pop industry,
your exploiting family and your parasite husband, lost the control could be a
way to screaming to the world “I was too much in control.” I need my own life
back. (VIDEO DE BRINTNEY LLORANDO EN ENTREVISTA DICIENDO QUE
NO ESTABA FUERA DE CONTROL SINO LO CONTRARIO)

With all this situation, Federline and her mother Lynne put an ultimatum on her
saying that she won´t see her children again if she does not go into rehab (more
control) So, she decides to act.

In Psycoanalisis, Acting Out is a resource against anguish, where although


there is a motivation linked to what is repressed, there is awareness of what
motivates the act, there is a subject, it does not lose the relationship with the
Other, it acts what cannot be said due to deficit symbolic. It is made to prove
something.

(MIENTRAS DIGO ESTO VAN IMAGENES DEL MELTDOWN)

Britney's acting out shows us her madness? The act was undoubtedly crazy, for
those who see it. As Freud would say the motor discharge, the motor
innervation that the acting out implies. This “craziness” is a staging of a subject
who speaks the Other with it, whom it call as a spectator. That is why we say
there is an acting a message, a call, a search for interpretation.

The meltdown of 2007 is an act where the repressed became a symptom, and
where she could begin to symbolize that content of the unconscious with
phrases like these: 1) “no one is going to touch my head again” 2) “My mom is
going to freak out” It is very clear that these acts were made to demonstrate
something, to demonstrate she need her life back.

Since then her father petitioned there courts to be a TEMPORARY conservator


to her until she was mentally stable and for one year. But 2 months after of this
she did a guest appearance on How I Met your mother, 6 months after her
hospitalization she launches the womanizer video and starts to promote her
new album Circus with its worldwide tour that grossed 131,8 million. If she was
so unwell , why did she start working right away.

After that her father petitioned the courts for the PERMANENT conservatorship.
Britney is now a 38 years old woman who is not allowed to do this activities:
drive a car, vote, get married, have children, spend her own money, see how
her money is being spent, see her children, leave her home, hire her own
lawyer, have any control over her career, speak about the conservatorship
publicly, go shopping, get Starbucks, etc….

Britney spears is dealing for the last 12 years with this, and she is trying to fight
in courts for her freedom in a very conscious way.

SO TELL ME, WHO IS MORE CRAZY? HER OR HER AROUND?
